I was told by Shiningpikablu252 to contact a sysop about this, and I'm guessing that you would be the best person to contact since you are listed as their sponsor. Basically, Shiningpikablu252 copied information directly from serebii.net into the template "Template:PokéWalker" without checking it and now it turns out that there is an error. Upon request of the change, Shiningpikablu252 refuses to change it because they believe that serebii.net is correct. Honestly, it would be more correct and effective to separate the courses by pre-national dex, post-national dex and special courses, but right now we have it as Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh/Unknown courses. The official website clearly classifies "Beyond the Sea" as a special course. The official guide book that lists all courses pre & post national dex leave out "Beyond the Sea" completely insinuating that it is a special course. I really do not like how the word of serebii.net is getting precedence over that of the official website and the official guides here, but there is nothing I can do about that especially since the template is locked. Would it be possible at all for you to change the listing of "Beyond the Sea" to the first place in the "Unknown" row instead of where it is now in the "Sinnoh" courses? That would at least be semi-accurate grouping. I really think it would be a lot better to just drop the serebii.net made-up version of Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh and replace it with pre/post national dex and then special, but that isn't bothering me as much. Thank you so much. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 04:39, 23 October 2009 (UTC))

:Considering that the pre/post-Ndex is the better division (as it really goes by watts, restricting you only if you gain enough before Ndex, anyway), it seems like a good idea. Go ahead and edit the template; Hoenn Field and Sinnoh Field are the only areas which are ''concretely'' in a region. Especially since some, like {{pw|Volcano Route}} have non-Hdex Pokémon despite being listed in Hoenn, while the {{pw|Cold Mountainpath}} and others have non-Sdex ones despite "being" in Sinnoh.

::Thanks, I would have edited it myself, but Shiningpikablu252 has it locked (I actually attempted to create a new, more up-to-date one, but it was deleted) How do I get around the lock to update it? ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 04:53, 23 October 2009 (UTC))
